Green, a veteran of the Mike Martz system, is 40 and now works for NFL Network and Westwood One Radio. "We had some conversations about it, but Trent's been engrossed in broadcasting," said agent Jim Steiner. "It's time to stay right where he is."

Retired QB Trent Green said there is no possibility that he will sign with the Bears.

Green confirmed that the Bears approached him about their backup job, but after chewing on it Green decided to keep his family in Kansas City. The Bears will continue their hunt for a backup quarterback that is familiar with Mike Martz's system. Marc Bulger remains a logical choice if he is willing to accept a strict backup role. Josh McCown has also been mentioned. Thu, May 27, 2010 03:21:00 PM

The Bears recently spoke to retired Trent Green about signing on as their backup quarterback, sources tell the Chicago Sun-Times.

Green officially retired in June of last season and has a couple TV analyst gigs lined up. Still, the Bears are interested in bringing in a veteran that knows Mike Martz's system and the situation remains "fluid," according to the Sun-Times. Josh McCown has also been mentioned as a possibility for the job. Mon, May 24, 2010 08:32:00 AM

Green, who turns 39 next month, was originally selected by the Chargers in the eighth round of the 1993 draft. Concussion-prone in the twilight of his career, Green made his mark with the Chiefs early this decade. Under Dick Vermeil, he was one of the top quarterbacks in the league, averaging 25 TDs and over 4,000 yards from 2002-2004. He finishes with 162 TDs and 28,475 yards in 120 career games. Green plans to pursue a career in broadcasting. Fri, Jun 12, 2009 12:53:00 PM

Signed to fill the pass-game role for new coach Sean McVay, Dunbar can't seem to get or stay healthy. He's been battling knee issues for years now. With Dunbar out, McVay said Malcolm Brown has established himself as the No. 2 back behind Todd Gurley. After not re-signing Benny Cunningham, perhaps the Rams will look outside the organization for help. Brown has a career 2.5 YPC average.

Rams GM Les Snead said Tavon Austin (hamstring) will be "used very similarly" by the new coaching staff.

Austin was somewhat ridiculously pegged as a deep threat when coach Sean McVay was hired, but he has not been healthy enough to carve out a role. "We haven’t figured out how much he evolves as a receiver in this offense because he hasn’t had a chance to play," Snead said. "He threatens the opposing team in many different ways. We’ve just got to get him healthy." With Sammy Watkins in the fold, Austin's chance at a meaningful role now looks even slimmer.

ESPN's Alden Gonzalez left WR Mike Thomas off his 53-man roster projection for the Rams.

Gonzalez said he originally had Thomas making the team but after being hit with a four-game PED suspension, Gonzalez now sees him on the outside looking in. Thomas played sparingly last year (102 offensive snaps) and now faces competition from rookie wideouts Cooper Kupp and Josh Reynolds. Gonzalez expects seven receivers to crack the Rams' roster including Kupp, Reynolds, Tavon Austin, Robert Woods, Pharoh Cooper, Bradley Marquez and Nelson Spruce.
